Breaking News: Wirtz Takes Flight to Merseyside - Liverpool Transfer on the Horizon
Florian Wirtz departs at 16:33, bound for what lies ahead.
Get ready, Reds! According to Bild, German football sensation Florian Wirtz has hopped on a private jet and jetted off towards Manchester, with the final stop in Liverpool. The 22-year-old Bayer Leverkusen star is poised for a record-breaking transfer to Liverpool FC, with an announcement expected as soon as tomorrow.
Spotted at Cologne Airport, Wirtz has embarked on the next chapter of his impressive career. Upon landing in Manchester, he'll undergo a mandatory medical before sealing the deal with the Premier League giants. Snaps of the young gun's airport departure were snapped by Bild for all to see.
Assuming no last-minute kinks, Wirtz's move to the European champions is looking all but confirmed. Several outlets are buzzing with news of the anticipated medical scheduled for this very Friday.
Reports indicate that the transfer fee could reach the jaw-dropping sum of 150 million euros, with a mix of fixed and bonus payments, thus setting a new standard for both Bundesliga and Premier League transfers. Only Paris Saint-Germain has spent more on strikers Neymar and Kylian Mbappé.
Champions League Bound?
With Liverpool in his sights, Wirtz is set to ink a contract that binds him to the club until 2030. Always wanted by Europe's top clubs, especially Bayern Munich, Wirtz remained elusive – but not for long.
In other Liverpool news, it looks like the Reds might be smashing records again. According to "GIVEMESPORT," Liverpool is seriously chasing former BVB striker Alexander Isak. With a potential price tag of up to 175 million euros, this could reignite the record-breaking transfer trend at the club.
